As you've probably guessed, nothing really exciting happened in June, but July has been different. From July 2nd to the 6th, Toshio and I attended Sailing School at Emma Lake and we had a blast! Neither of us had ever been in a sail boat before, but by the end the first day we were on our to becoming sailors.
Sailing was not actually on the menu for this summer, but Google has a way of making these things happen. I've been interested in sailing for a while now and decided to Google "Saskatchewan sailing." Well one link leads to another and before you knew it, there I was downloading a registration form for the Prince Albert Sailing Club Summer Sailing Camp. This was less than a week prior to the start of camp, but fortunately there was room and I had holidays booked!
The weather was perfect for the whole week and the sailing was great! With a good balance of class instruction and 30 hours of hands-on supervised sailing, Toshio and I learned that we loved sailing. The P.A. Sailing Club did a great job of pulling together good boats and great instructors in a beautiful setting -- all for $160! They even provided Toshio with his own little sail boat. Toshio completed the week with a White Sail II certification, while I finished with a White Sail III certificate. This was an experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for something different to do with their summer.
